When it comes to instilling trust in affiliates, something very important to sponsors (with all the cheating which has been historically associated with quite a few), anything less than a shining example of ethics and practices sets off the old red flags.
Sponsors marketing themselves as an 'honest' programs, to me, suggest that a deliberately added effort to demonstrate ethical practices and 'honest' alliances is in action.

If you have never downloaded an mp3 or a program crack, than you certainly have a right to be morally outraged.
Side note - there is some question how much $ is actually lost. Many of the people visiting passsord crack sites would absolutely never buy a membership anyway - its an alternative to free galleries to them. I'm discounting the bandwidth wasted - with charges of less than 10 cents per gig now it costs me 20 cents for a freeloader to suck 2 gigs out a website.
Not saying its right and I fully expect to burn in hell someday for that Stones mp3 I downloaded in 2001, but its not going to change no matter what we do so I got used to it and put in tools to block the password trading.
